Thank you for the feedback and this is true; exactly what we were having to do. But I want the CAD users to be submitting geometry that has a positive value back into the feature service, not have to export the entire feature database, repair geometry, then push the fixes back in. This is not time economical. I don't know why ArcGIS cannot understand the ring order coming from a BPOLY shape created using a circle, but it doesn't understand the drawing order. I believe I have solved this issue above though, until it doesn't prove to work.

I was getting these errors too. However, this was not a ArcGIS to AutoCAD Plug In problem, it was an AutoCAD version problem. This error came up because the .dwg was from an older version trying to be edited in a newer version. I am not sure if I saw a fix for the issue though.

For anyone that may ever read this, I have figured out the answer to my own problem. It is not the BPOLY tool that causes negative area in ArcGIS - it is the way that CAD draws a circle and arc. CAD assumes a clockwise rotation in the drawing and therefore causes the shape to be negative in ArcGIS. When you combine this shape with a normal polygon, ArcGIS does not know how to reorder the rings in that it has part of the rings are formed from a circle or arc. If the arc is drawn counter clockwise, then the shape it is joined with will become positive. The shape will be negative when the arc is drawn clockwise. CAD always draws the circle clockwise. The solution is to finish the BPOLY feature, then type "reverse" in the command line in order to reverse the drawing from clockwise to counter clockwise. Then the shape will end up with a positive area when it reaches ArcGIS.

Using the ArcGIS for AutoCAD tool: ArcGIS is interpreting a negative area (wrong ring ordering) when I synchronize a shape I have made from AutoCAD using BPOLY. I make a hard angled polygon in AutoCAD (meaning no smooth arcs). Then, I create a circle at one of the corners. After expanding the circle, I use the BPOLY command in AutoCAD to get a new shape. The new shape created then is synchronized to my enterprise GDB and has a negative area. I have tried using the REVERSE command, exploding and rejoining, and a various few different things in AutoCAD to fix the drawing order to try and correct the issue. However, the only consistent solution I have found is for me to go into ArcGIS and export the feature(s) from the enterprise GDB, repair geometry, and replace the feature(s) altogether. Since the BPOLY command will continue to be used in this manner, is there a way I can fix this from AutoCAD? Thank you in advance.

Has anyone came across that when editing a feature in the ArcGIS feature service the last_edited_by field gets populated with Esri_Anonymous? Does anyone know how to force AutoCAD to use the logged in user name in order to complete the editor tracking loop? Time is OK, but it would also be nice to get the user's name. Thank you for any help. #arcgis for autocad 2016

In one further step, this is what I think I am trying to do: What is ArcGIS for AutoCAD? Feature services Feature services in ArcGIS for AutoCAD give you access to the vector geometry in maps published with ArcGIS for Server. Features are represented as AutoCAD objects, placed on distinct drawing layers, and organized as feature classes. You can edit the features using standard AutoCAD commands, and push your changes back to the server to the source enterprise geodatabase if you have write permissions.

I am new to setting up the ability for AutoCAD to use the ArcGIS capability. Right now I have a webmap that allows users to edit the feature classes within the service. With that I was asked to make this capable straight out of AutoCAD. From what I can read, when the feature service is editable (which the online map clearly shows it is editable) AutoCAD can hook up to the feature service, edit the attributes, then synchronize changes straight into the ArcGIS feature class. However, the features that are manipulated within AutoCAD are only local and cannot be synchronized back into the ArcGIS feature class. After further investigation, I found that the "edit" checkbox on the feature capability had to be marked. I went into the feature services capability and ensured that there is no checkbox for "edit." How am I to get AutoCAD the capability to directly edit the feature class and for the feature class to accept those changes upon synchronizing the two? Program version reference: AutoCAD 2016. ArcGIS 10.3. ArcGIS for AutoCAD 355. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
